When it comes to people who vote against their own social and economic interests for the sake of "family values," or gun rights, fear of a black president, or just out of old fashioned fear and loathing of THE GAY, it's kind of hard not to hold such persons in intellectual contempt.

I'm talking about voting Republican simply because they stand for gun rights (among other things), even though they cut needed social programs in order to give the rich bigger tax cuts, and support big business that undercuts American workers by massive layoffs, cutting pay and benefits, breaking unions, and outsourcing jobs.
Again, it's hard not to hold such persons in contempt.

You know what, the next time someone mentions liberals being arrogant or thinking they know what's best for everyone else and liberals complain about the stereotype, just link to these two posts. If someone called into Rush or one of his brethren and talked like this, people would think they were hearing a conservative plant trying to whip up the audience, it's really that over the top.
is that all it takes to get conservative panties in a bunch?
they accused me of single issue voting
mommy they said I am not nuanced in my political thinking
they said I need to think me before I vote
mommy he said needed social prograwms.
Heaven forbid a real Marxist every stated an oppinion.

My point was more aimed at Kraig and asking if he was trying to be a political stereotype, but if you want to show everyone how clever you are with more intelligent posts like this, don't let me stop you.

I actually prefer Kraich.
And if you want to think of me as a "political stereotype, then go ahead, I can't stop you. But I still assert that plenty of people are swayed to vote against their own interests for emotional reasons.

Sorry about the name thing, I see your username and want to pronounce it craig-chauer and my mind just sort of alters how I see the spelling.
Anyway, I wasn't so much talking about how I perceive you as how other people are going to react, I hate being stereotyped myself so I put a lot of effort into not acting stereotypical. I'd completely agree about people getting swept up in emotion over reason, but I would not attribute that solely or even mostly to conservative causes. My gun related voting for example had nothing to do with emotion and everything to do with putting the Democrats so far off of that idea that I could safely vote for them when I feel they have the better candidate; I felt confident enough in this to vote Obama over McCain in 2008. See, perfectly rational. Like I mentioned in another thread, all I really want is the benefit of the doubt about coming to an opinion honestly, I get very annoyed by this undercurrent of people having had to have been "tricked" to have positions that some people disagree with.
I apologize for misunderstanding your post. The political discussions here in this forum are always enjoyable, but like any other sport (I'm guessing - I suck at sports), sometimes my blood is up, and my perceptions aren't always correct.
